Convex functions (Pure and applied mathematics; a series of monographs and textbooks)

Acknowledged authors A. Wayne Roberts, Dale E. Varberg wrote Convex functions (Pure and applied mathematics; a series of monographs and textbooks) comprising 300 pages back in 1973. Textbook and eTextbook are published under ISBN 0125897405 and 9780125897402. Since then Convex functions (Pure and applied mathematics; a series of monographs and textbooks) textbook was available to sell back to BooksRun online for the top buyback price or rent at the marketplace.

We believe that mathematics is best learned by examining in depth the major ideas in as familiar a setting as possible, and then seeing how they can be generalized. Chapter I takes up the very concrete and historic case of convex functions defined on an interval of the real line. This material appears as a logical extension of what the student has learned in his calculus course, has immediate applications, motivates most of the generalizations to come later, raises most of the important questions that will be studied in the rest of the book.
